If you guys love the high country as much as I do this should be majorly disturbing to you. If you live in any of the counties that may be affected get involved, call your county supervisors and get the opposition rolling. Even if you don't live in any of these counties please voice your opposition. The feds are seriously over stepping here and this has to be killed or our crown jewel will be gone. Please read this link and do a little more research on the subject.

This is not just a California issue either. The Sierra Nevadas are a national treasure and they are trying to take them away. If you have ever or ever wish to see Yosemite, Kings Canyon, a giant sequoia, fish the upper Kern, catch a golden trout, hike the John Muir trail or do anything in these wonderful mountains you should be concerned and if they succeed here don't think they will stop.
 
I do not see the harm? I see a lot grazing off limits, diversion dams blocked, oil exploration and mining outlawed, house dogs and nature communes and pot farmers gone. I have hunted and fished on a lot of federal lands, including wilderness areas. With the restriction that we had to camp "clean", walk in, or horse in, can't drive to camp on RTV, bring in certified hay, horse feed, and shot and health requirements on the dogs, sometimes filed a plan, and a report on the way out. A lot of the rural "first" publications have an alternative motive. Financed by concerned parties who want irrigation, mining interests, development designs.
 
OaN. I usually agree with you but on this I don't. You see they plan to designate over 2 million acres of the forrest as critical habitat. They don't want to indentify actual crotical habitat, they just want to throw a blanket over it all. Non native trout and the BD virus are 2 of the main culprits with wetland degradation by live stock probably next. The BD virus as of yet cannot be stopped from coming up stream and these frogs and toads will continue to die from it listing or not. I'm sure there are good solutions to this problem and I am all for that but severly limiting recreation and grazing on 2 million acres is not a solution, it's an attack! Like I said, people should do their own research, I only provided the link as a starting point.
 
A lot of the high sierra lakes and rivers already enjoy wilderness status.
 
iv'e been following this too. pretty clearly a case of "what are they really doing?" isn't it? goe's hand in hand with all the logging roads being blocked off and the aggressive federal law enforcement establishing control in the forest and the onerous new regulations.
who are they reserving that land for?

here's how one local sheriff deals with federal over reach.
